Adopt An Orangutan

For as little as $12 a month, you can help support an orphaned or injured orangutan through rehabilitation in one of our care centres.

Only 1 out of 6 orphans are lucky enough to be rescued - over 1,000 orphaned orangutans are living in rescue and rehabilitation centres. Care of these infants is costly and requires 24hr staff, veterinary, and nurse care to ensure they are in a healthy condition and have the best chance to survive – and possibly even return to the wild.

All adoption money goes directly to helping the orphans at the various care centres we support:

We are in regular contact with the staff at the centres and TOP representatives visit the centres several regularly to get updates on the orphans and see how they are progressing. For the small sum you can make a real difference and help these orphans survive.

All adoption money goes directly to helping orphans at care centres we support and providing opportunities for a safe return to the wild.

Orphan adoptions are tax deductible!

Please allow a minimum of 7 to 12 days for postage within Australia. More remote destinations may take longer.

Maximum of 25 characters including spaces allowed on adoption certificates

For more information on the care centres see our Projects.

Orphan Updates

TOP provides updates twice a year on each of our orphan orangutans available for adoption. This allows you to track their progress and see how they are being rehabilitated.

Monti is one of the younger members of the center’s orangutan family. She arrived at the centre at the end of November 2009. We were told that Monti was being kept by a family in a remote rural location. When we found them they claimed that the tiny orangutan had been found alone in the jungle and they had taken her in:

Bunga arrived at the centre in West Kalimantan in November 2009. She was about 2½ years old. Her story is similar to that of many other rescued orangutans: a family phoned the centre and asked the rescue team to go and pick her up from their house.

When Rahayu the baby orangutan arrived in April 2011, she was in a very serious condition. She had the worst type of malaria and this had affected her neurological system. During the first week the vets were very worried about her. Thanks to round-the-clock care and appropriate treatment she finally recovered from the malaria.

The Gokong Success Story

Gokong is currently in the Isolation Complex, where he is housed with other youngsters including Siboy, Bulan and Nadya.

Gokong no longer sleeps in the clinic with the other smaller infants. He has advanced to Stage Two and will sleep throughout the night, without requiring to sleep with others. When Gokong is taken into the small forest school, he is very clumsy and careless with his climbing. He will often fall or aim to climb high and throw himself down to the ground, army roll around and then get back up and climb again. This behaviour is very cheeky and is setting a bad example for other infants like Bulan who learn from him.

International Animal Rescue (IAR) signed an Memorandum of Understanding in August 2009 with the Forestry Department in West Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, agreeing on plans for the rescue, rehabilitation and relocation ...
